Fbackup problems (1601)(1421)(1517)(3205)

[Ishafizan Ishak_1]

Got these few msgs while backing up with sam. Anyone got any ideas what the
**** they mean?

(1601) could not access i/-efile /backupy
(1421) no profile history is available for graph file
/etc/sam/br/graphQeAa03524
(1517) /net not backup - 'n' option (NFS) not specified
(3205) fbackup unable to read a volume header

Actions taken:
Removed the automated backup and added a new automated one through sam. The
file system to back-up on the server was added throughly (Specified files
chosen)
. ..but the same error popped up [selected perform backup now].

1.Info: System handle: 7000SIRIM.K570

Appreciate any info. Cheers.

If there is a graph file for this, could you please supply the graph file
exactly as it is specified. The easiest would be to send it as an attachment.

Don't worry about these, I think they just warnings:
(1421) no profile history is available for graph file
/etc/sam/br/graphQeAa03524
(1517) /net not backup - 'n' option (NFS) not specified

The (3205) fbackup unable to read a volume header
is a more serious problem.

Try this:
1) rename your graph file in /etc/sam/br for safe keeping
2) remove and readd your backup via SAM
3) make sure the tape is not write-protected
4) make sure you're using the correct length of tape as shown below.
